I always wanted to go to a sing-along Messiah at Christmas time. This is when the audience brings a score and sings Handel's Messiah along with the professional choir and orchestra. Why? Because it's Christmas and the music is awesome, and sometimes you just want to sing a long at the top of your lungs -- but you need the people onstage to take the lead. (Now that I'm using Things maybe it'll actually happen.)

Another startup buddy and I decided to get serious with Running Lean and do it like a self-led workshop. This is the first resource I've come across that lets me get really real -- like actually pouring the concrete and hammering the studs, and putting muscle to something.

It occurs to me that maybe there are other people wanted to do lean startup who just need to roll up their sleeves. You know? Time to stop reading blogs, getting all excited watching videos, following lean guru twitter feeds, etc. Time to JFDI and take action -- not just one action. But many actions inside a structured process.

Below is our syllabus for the first section -- finding the Problem/Solution fit.

Today is our first work day, so you have to do some catch up.

Feel free to Sing-Along with us and report your progress. Why? Because sometimes you want to just sing along at the top of your lungs, but you need people to do it with. Sometimes you don't want to carry a tune all by yourself.
